Preparation

World Market used to have some nice teas in wonderful square tins. This was one of them: http://is.gd/fXeyr

Now, every time my humans come home from WM, they whine about the lack of loose leaf teas and the preponderance of flavored tea dust in bags. Happily, they don’t bring such things home and expect this little teapot to steep ’em.

Preparation

My humans are definitely nutty over the malty taste of Assams. This one is a good example. It’s more of an Orthodox variety, as opposed to a CTC variety. Check out the cute cozy that keeps me so warm while I steep! Photos and details:
